What if all the faith formation activities in your church were built on a common framework—a direction and a set of goals that would help all the people in your community, from the youngest to the oldest, grow in faith together? 

The Building Blocks of Faith can provide that sort of framework. They can help direct your planning and implementation so that all your church’s programs and activities become intentional and effective opportunities for faith formation. They can also provide a framework for families and individuals to grow in their faith.
